Besides wc, lots of special-purpose applications have their own,
usually in Perl (TeX does, for example, and I think there's one for
HTML---they ignore TeX \macros and HTML <TAG>s).

Given that the problem turned out to be VJ header compression (is that
a (God forbid) Linux problem or on the ISP side?), I don't see
anything below that's really horrible, but there's a lot of stuff in
your kernel that isn't buying you anything, some that is potentially
confusing, and all of it taking up space.
